1. Overview
VendorSplit (“the App”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), operated by velsevul, provides automated order line-item splitting and vendor notification services for merchants operating on the Shopify platform. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, shared and protected when you install and use the App.
With respect to your customers' personal data, the merchant is the data controller and VendorSplit acts as a data processor on the merchant's instructions.
2. Information We Collect
When you install and configure VendorSplit, we access and process only the data strictly necessary to perform order routing:
- Shop Data: your Shopify domain (
*.myshopify.com) and the access tokens required for API operations. - Catalog Data: vendor names listed in your Shopify product catalog (via the
read_productsscope) to populate rule dropdowns and match products. - Configuration Data: the vendor routing rules you create—vendor names, vendor recipient email addresses, CSV delimiter and column settings.
- Order Data: upon receiving
orders/paidwebhooks (read_ordersscope), we process order identifiers, line item details (SKU, title, quantity, price) and—only for the CSV columns you choose to include—customer personal data (customer name, shipping address, phone number and email). - Delivery Logs: timestamps, Shopify order IDs and order numbers, vendor names, vendor recipient email addresses, item counts and dispatch statuses (including failure error messages).
Customer personal data is processed transiently in server memory to build the CSV file and is never written to our database or our server logs. Delivery logs contain no customer personal data.
3. How We Use Information
We use the collected information exclusively for:
- Generating CSV purchase and fulfillment files filtered by the vendor rules configured by the merchant.
- Dispatching transactional emails with the attached CSV files from
orders@velsevul.comto merchant-designated vendor addresses. - Providing the merchant with an audit log of recent dispatch events within the app dashboard.
- Verifying your app subscription through Shopify Managed App Pricing. Payments are processed and billed by Shopify; we never receive your payment details.
We do not sell, rent, broker, or monetize your store data or customer personal information, and we do not use it for advertising or profiling.
5. Data Retention & Deletion
| Data | Retention |
|---|---|
| Customer personal data | Not stored by VendorSplit at any time. |
| Delivery logs | Automatically deleted after 90 days, and immediately when the App is uninstalled. |
| Access tokens | Deleted immediately when the App is uninstalled. |
| Vendor routing rules | Kept after uninstall so an accidental reinstall does not lose your configuration, then permanently erased when Shopify sends the shop/redact request (48 hours after uninstall). |
We honour Shopify's mandatory privacy webhooks:
customers/data_request
Acknowledged and processed promptly. Because customer personal data is never stored by VendorSplit, we hold no customer records to return.
customers/redact
Acknowledged and processed promptly. No customer personal data exists in our database or logs to erase.
shop/redact
Sent by Shopify 48 hours after uninstall. We permanently erase all remaining data for the store, including vendor routing rules.
Copies of CSV files already delivered to your vendors must be handled by you and your vendors directly.
6. Security
All data is transmitted over HTTPS. Webhooks from Shopify are verified with HMAC signatures, and every database query is scoped to the authenticated shop so that one store can never access another store's data.
7. Your Rights
Merchants and their customers have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of their personal information. Requests received directly or via Shopify's mandatory privacy webhooks are processed promptly. Customers should contact the merchant they purchased from; we will assist the merchant as their processor.
